You could implement UDFs to do operations on some other type like a string to get the semantics you want but that sounds like too much work for this situation. > Numeric Data Type Support > ------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6023 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6023 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Database/Schema, File Formats > Affects Versions: 0.9.0, 0.10.0, 0.11.0, 0.12.0 > Environment: Hive 0.90, Linux, Hadoop, Data Type Extension > Reporter: Deepak Raj > Labels: Data, Hive, Numeric, Type1 > Original Estimate: 2h > Remaining Estimate: 2h > > Many companies are rethinking their strategies to adapt Hive into their ETL just for the reason that it does not support the most basic data types like Numeric(a,b). I believe there should be an improvement with upcoming versions of hive. Can we extend the hive with custom UDF for Numeric(a,b) data type? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
